An introduction to logic, both deductive and inductive. The text should enable the reader to understand, recognize and apply classical syllogistic logic and the techniques of modern symbolic logic. It covers informal fallacies, existential import and some aspects of legal reasoning.
A brief historical account of the Theory of Logical Types; describes the problems that gave rise to it, its various different formulations (Simple and Ramified), the difficulties connected with each, and the criticisms that have been directed against it. Professor Copi seeks to make the subject accessible to the non-specialist and yet provide a sufficiently rigorous exposition for the serious student to see exactly what the theory is and how it works.
